"stupidly assembled" means these bodies were "assembled" without an intelligent assembler.
"by no other reason than to produce.." is based on natural selection, in which species of the "fittest" will reproduce more effectively, according to their surroundings. It seems the reason why there is cognitive life is to continue to create more of the same species, then there is a positive mutation in the DNA, and then the altered life-form will continue to do the same thing until the universe burns up, "that will eventually cease to exist", due to the entropy of the universe.
Get it?
Well, sort of ... technically everything is in "space," but I spose I can make the jump with you to spacesuits. Although the correlation is still exceptionally weak since one, a suit is designed by an intelligent being for another living being to put on. It has no function on its own. Two, there is absolutely nothing connecting a spacesuit to DNA mutations and the THEORETICAL end of the universe ... you might as well have posed the question: Are we merely apple trees making more apple trees which will cease to exist. At least apples are alive and function without interference and they cease to exist rather quickly - much like a human.
All this being said, I do appreciate you making an attempt to clear that up for me. You're welcome to have any quote you wish in your signature box ... that one just really caught me off guard - as it is an exceptionally poor metaphor.

No one said he had to change his signature. The two of you are welcome to display whatever ridiculous concoction you come up with.
